The ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ alum and the 34-year-old actress both filed divorce petitions in November after 10 years of marriage, and on Monday (07.12.20), it was confirmed Brian is seeking to obtain both joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s sons, Noah, eight, Bodhi, six, and Journey, four.
According to Us Weekly, Brian did not request any child support in the filing, but he did ask for spousal support and his filing indicated that Megan is asking for the same thing in her own response filing.
The couple officially filed for divorce last month, but had actually split eight months earlier in March, with Brian announcing the news publicly in May.
And the decision to file for joint custody comes as Megan recently hit out at the 47-year-old actor for seemingly painting her as an “absent mother” on social media, as he constantly posts pictures of their children, and she chooses to keep them off of Instagram.
The ‘Jennifer’s Body’ star - who is now in a relationship with Machine Gun Kelly - fumed after Brian marked Halloween (31.10.20) with a picture of his youngest son, Journey, as she accused him of using Instagram to make himself seem like “dad of the year”.
She commented on his photo: "Why does Journey have to be in this picture? It's not hard to crop them out. Or choose photos that they aren't in.
"I had a great Halloween with them yesterday, and yet notice how absent they are from my social media. I know you love your kids. But I don't know why you can't stop using them to posture via Instagram.
"You're so intoxicated with feeding the pervasive narrative that I'm an absent mother, and you are the perennial, eternally dedicated dad of the year. You have them half of the time.
"Congratulations you truly are a remarkable human! Why do you need the internet to echo back to you what should be inexhaustibly evident in the way your children love you? (sic)"
